The high ceilings and large windows create a bright and airy atmosphere and getting the building exactly right was one of the first priorities for the nursery, say managers.

Operations manager Sharon Leib said: "We wanted to make sure that we started with the right environment. From babies to preschoolers we want to give the children a home from home feeling. We believe that it is essential that they have a safe, nurturing environment to play and grow."

All smiles - some of the team with children.

While getting the environment right is crucial, even more important are the people and the Fun Farm team say they have spent a lot of time making sure they have got the very best staff.

Ms Leib added: "The Lincolnshire Early Years and Childcare Support Service has told us that there is a great need for childcare in this area. Lots of working mummies and daddies come into the city they find it makes life so much easier to be able to drop off the children en-route to work. Many work very close by which they find is reassuring."

Nursery manager Jenny Andrews added: "We have a fantastic team and we have exceptional practitioners who are so caring. We aim not to offer the norm but to offer the best childcare possible. We go above and beyond what is required and we make sure that the children get all sorts of different experiences."

Sneaky peek behind the doors of the brand new nursery in Lincoln.

With a shortage of nursery places in the area, the new 78 place nursery will no doubt be welcomed by working parents.

If you want to see the nursery for yourself , there will be an open day on 30th August from 10am - 7pm with everyone welcome.
